I’ve been waiting for my flying car since watching The Jetsons 60 years ago.

Wow!
Good thing they hadn’t invented this experiment before April 1, 1945...
The consequences might have been even worse than they were...

exactly how much friction is there in a vacuum chamber of one-billionth of Earth’s air pressure? how many gaseous molecules remain in such a vacuum?

grok sez: Approximately 2.33 × 10¹³ molecules remain in a 1-quart vacuum chamber at a pressure of one-billionth of Earth’s atmosphere at sea level, assuming a temperature of 298 K

I’ll pay three quakloons for it. But only if it’s .005 pascals.

Nope it won’t work.
Once you put a load, it will stop turning and then stop levitating.
